UNSPSC 50533445: Dried non GMO italia grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO italia grapes that have been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50533445 Dried non-GMO Italia grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in any of the recent state and local procurement opportunities on file. The recent opportunities tagged under or near this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food procurement across multiple states, but none specifically solicit dried grapes, Italia or otherwise. The opportunities instead focus on fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, citrus), eggs, comprehensive grocery supply, and meal preparation and delivery services. School districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, cities, and other local bodies are the primary issuing parties, with responses due between late February and mid-July 2026 across Georgia, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Virginia.

No representative recent opportunity under this code is available to cite. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either that dried non-GMO Italia grapes are procured through broader grocery or produce categories rather than as a standalone line item, or that state and local governments are not currently soliciting this commodity as a distinct contract or line-item opportunity. Firms pursuing this market should monitor school nutrition RFPs and institutional food-service solicitations for fresh or processed produce categories where dried grapes might be embedded as a line item, or verify directly with issuing bodies whether dried-grape procurement is handled through cooperative purchasing agreements, standing orders, or sub-award activity not visible in published notice systems.
